"They stayed in the boarding house, and their joint salaries were of course sufficient not only for their needs but many pleasures. ‘But when the stork came along it was a different story. It meant giv- ing ap the boarding house and start- ing on their own. Of course they modestly in a bit of a flat, she her own work, for now she had ve up her position, and they had ° (iy on his salary, which was just $35 a week. ‘ ‘Then began the real struggle—the real test. She had given up the few friends whe had, because she could not efford to entertain them. She had little with which to buy clothes for herself. Everything was needed to conduct the household and care for the wee one. ‘Then came another and still an- other, and very little increase in the man‘seearnings, and the hak fine profession. And as | have said before, there are a0 many others Ilke her. worst of tt was that she lived in her own little sphere—within the few walls of her own home. ‘Then the burden grew intolerable and she came to the conclusion that it would be better to, hire some one to do the housework And go back to her profession to earn sufficient for thefr needs—which she did. Tt was almost strange to this woman, after all this close confine- ment, to get back into the world and work, and how she welcomed it as against the pots and kettles and washing’ and ironing, &c. All this she tells me in her letter— and more. Came the day when again, on the outside world, she mot a man she cared for and who loved the out- door life. He had more means than hep husband. But only on two occa- sions did she even dare meet him at luncheon. She wanted to conserve her conscience and do the so-called “right thing.” hen the problem of her life spread before her. What should she do? Go beck to the drudgery and dreariness of her meagre existence with her hus. band and children, or to take tus man who had everything to offer? Yor mark you, through that dreary drudgery through which she passed. the spark of love for the man she married, se , seemed to have died out. ‘This is the Cd ig puts to me— what I] she do now ee abandon her children. fhe feels that she has gone through 0 much that she is entitled to some- thing better and there seems to be little hope for her husband getting eny further.

There are the occasional soulsbut very occasional—who can weather all storms and keep their love intact, but with the everyday mortal jt is a different proposition. When a woman has to spend most of her time in the kitchen and has the constant care of chil dren, she loses sight of the little Dan Cupid that looked so allur- ing when “he” proposed to her. This may seem harsh, but | hon- estly 1 that love can only thrive and continue when the economic question is not a con- stant and harrowing one. | firmly believe too much drudgery will wear away even a love that seems as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar. Therefore to the man is especially charged the duty of seeing to it that there 12 suffletent wherewithal to al- leviate the everlasting grind, for a little of it will go a long way toward breaking up the home. Bint how to overcome much of the so-called drudgery? In the first place, many of the hardships tha e endured by the women in the home are due entirely to themselves. — I they would only study their kitchens and their households they would make things much easier. I speak from experience. 1 have kept house aimost ever since I can remember. First of all, every woman owes it to herself to buy as many labor sav: devices as possible, E depart store is filled with such kitchen, ill save w Such in- yestmonts are worth while, The next thing I wonld suggest is to let nothing accumulate. Clean up as you go along. Don't let. your dishes pile high for two or three meals, See that things are cleared away immediate See that things are hung and put away properly at the time. Don't wait for the day of cleaning up. Do {t now! That is the big motto in the home as well as in business+do it now! It will save temper and troubles and trials and tribulations No matter how dificult your house hold is, you can make it easier by studying how to save yourself. When you stop to think of the difficulties under which your grandmother worked, vearing a big family and do- ing all the work herself, how much easier it is in this day of household economies and modern devices, There can be much less drudgery f the woman will stop it herself.

All muscles increase in size by ex- ercise, and this temporary increase can be made permanent by persist- ing in the method of applying the palin of the hand with a good, strong rotary motion, as illustrated in to- day's article.
